It passed a plagiarism checker with 100%.

I didn't know it was possible to get 100% on those.

Are you telling me that Maestro actually had an original thought for once?

It's not even about music, though, go figure

It is. Says me and my paper on Mayan astronomy/astrology back in sophmore year. (+ some other papers on Greek/Roman stuff). That's after I took off the works I quoted ofc...Obviously I don't have access to the codices and I can't translate the language so eh.

Should let the kid do his own homework, if he copies it verbatim and a google post brings it back to here, what use is that? What about academic integrity?

[mikey]

wow you guys are harsh
It's clear that maestro only uses Wikipedia for subjects which he considers himself inferior.  Also reading through it I didn't notice any grammar errors, which is likely cause of how fast I read it, and as far as I know he doesn't make grammar errors?  Lol but yeah glancing at it looks like a copy paste but when you read it you can hear a voice so it doesn't seem like wikipedia

Aight guys c'mon now. It was fun while it lasted, and it's a funny gag now, but stuff like

doesn't really help anyone and at this point is just being a dick. YES, we all know about the contents of the classical discussion thread. But we need to be able to let things go for the most part. Nothing wrong with making the occasional joke or whatever but 7 or 8 posts is a bit much IMO.
At the same time, many of us are trying to encourage mods (Maestro and the others) to be more impartial. The best thing we can do to help garner that response is to not be dicks.

Yeah, you might wanna read slower next time. Maestro has a pattern of some grammatical errors in long stuff. This one's no different. But it was a good explanation. I liked it.

I can vouch for E. Gaddd and say this has nothing to do with homework. It's just a topic to debate about.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Yeah, we covered this in AP World, and I actually thought it would be interesting to hear peoples' opinions (which I'll be posting my own in a bit).

nah i just do it because i dont feel like acknowledging giant text walls

i'll keep what you said in mind though and just ignore them entirely next time!

(no seriously, i don't want to be a dick. so i'll just ignore it)

[Waddle Bro]

it's easy to use textbooks and notes help you out when writing a text, can vouch for that. especially in history since you don't need to apply that to anything new. and just because a text uses a lot of terms, doesn't mean it's straight copy-paste.

also reasons that pushed united states to use the atomic bomb
-pearl harbour
-avoiding the opponent's landing to the main islands
-the kamikaze attacks
-it served as a warning to the red army
-the military and scientific interest
-truman's desire to be written down in the history books as the president who ended the war

in a nutshell.

Sure, so it *was* homework?

It's not a debate yet if you don't defend yourself...
